I wonder too, cause on sbf there is a Retail EU version of JB. Anybody try it with RSDlite?
Also any news about root exploit for JB? of curse with locked bootloader

AW: Flashing JB again
Use RSD 6.1.4 and you're good to go. I flash everything with RSD (ICS <> JB)
BUT I SUGGEST YOU: DON'T DOWNGRADE FROM JB TO ICS WITH RSD IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW!
You're safe to flash JB Fastboot Files :thumbup:

No problem, we can speak in English here
When you flash JB over JB there's no chance to brick. But backup your internal SD, it will get erased during the RSD process! (Or edit the XML and delete the line "erase userdata")

One last question, is there anyway to Factory data reset the phone other than through the privacy settings
Thanks again

AW: Flashing JB again
Sure, via Recovery.
Turn off the Phone
Press and hold Power + Vol. down
As soon as the i vibrates release Power and hold only Vol. down
Select Recovery with Vol. down & accept with Vol. up
Press both Vol. Keys when the Android appears
Select Factory Reset with Vol. keys and accept with Power
Reboot

Ahhh okay, like i posted in the other topic, i am having issues with the audio.
A reset from Privacy settings did not help, let me try with recovery and will keep you updated..

The android has a red triangle over it, and pressing both volume keys is making no difference

Razr i Messed up badly .HELP

So i installed Omars rom and i couldnt receive text messages. I installed the SMS fix by shaftenberg. Then that essentially ruined my phone. After that i couldnt send or receive and messages. Even after a full wipe and installation of other roms it still didnt work.
Now after using RSD to fully reinstall the stock rom it failed at step 8. Now i cant even boot into fastboot mode and i cant try again. If i try it will boot into normal mode. That being said i can now turn on my phone and use it like normal except i cant text.
Please i need help here.
Beware that since JB you have to release Power after it vibrates & only hold Vol. down to get into Ap.

Your Problem is not the Fastboot File, it's your outdated RSD Version. Google for RSD Lite 6.1.4 or follow my signature.

Yeah that worked thanks. But now the screen doesn't start up when i try to reboot it. Just the green LED light
You flashed another ICS Fastboot before? The one I've linked is the Retail JB so it won't brick your device.

Thank you very much man!!
Just a couple more questions:
1) I´m on Pi LLama 0.8 ROM, and i want to flash this SBF on top of it, are there eny risks of bricking?
2) Do you think that Arman68 infiniROM is going to work all right on top of this firnware?
Thank you again!
Just charge your battery a lil bit (min. I flashed an sbf was 30%) and backup your internal sd card (it will get wiped).
Armans Rom should work well with this sbf, it's meant to run on it
I never tried it, because I'm no fan of the sd card swap. But if something goes wrong, the sbf will always bring you back to Stock.

The phone is new, two days of life, becuse it's just returned from assistance. I have just rooted it and tryed the eXistenZ rom. The bug start after the firt boot with the custom rom but after restore with original fw the situation don't change...
Write down what you exactly do if you flash the stock firmware.

after flashing by CMW the eXistenZ rom, I have falshed with flashtool (like the rom page request) the .67 kernel. At the start the rom was great but after some minutes the XZ shut down and the only thing I can do to wake it is to connect to the charger and power on. After too much death I decide to revert back to stock rom with flashtool.
For flashing the stock rom I have downloaded the ftf of .67 for my region and simply flashed on xperia... nothing strange... I think
UP! Any idea for fix this problem?
So with stock rom it works fine?

...I think it's a software problem but what can cause this bug? I have already tried to restore the phone multiple times, also with flashtool... but nothing.
No it can not be a bug if you have flashed correctly the newest stock.
I think something other is not good but I don't know what.

Ok, I dont think so that is a software problem when you have tryied it multiple times. Because I think you know it too: after a clean flash with a firmware which not have this bug(reviews by other users), your phone have to work fine..
What I would try too:
1. Check if sim card is good placed.
2. Try with older firmware
3. Restore NAND backup
And if nothing would help I would send it to the repair center..

So yea...

I can't get any other rooting software except kingo to root my device...Ive tried just about every rooter on here, and from what im just now reading on here kingo has severe security issues...which has me worried. Would that be a possible explanation for the roms im installing not allowing my wifi to activate? Cause if so id, like help actually getting one of these root...ers, on here to actually root my device.
But I always get that weird system/bin/su not found error when I use doomlordz easy rooter...with kingo It's flawless and quick, but there's probably a really bad reason for that....help please...

It always says there is a system/bin/SU error Which is frustrating because i know it has to work, hundreds of others have done it, so that means its either my phone or me messing up somewhere along the lines....and id really like to not have china Tracking me on GPS and sending a missile through my bedroom window.

Doom's method don't work as you're not on a stock 0.67 firmware, but on a carrier specific firmware.

So since kingo is the only way does that mean there is no way to fix the Wifi, not working issue? it doesn't turn on...its greyed out and when I can press it it just keeps saying turning on...I use the PhilzTouch Recovery system....

Update recovery? Ok bro. can you please tell Which is latest recovery version is available for samsung galaxy note?
and can i just flash new recovery file directly from my old recovery ?
You can flash forest kernel afaik. Then reboot recovery. From that you should be able to flash your ROM... Always read first.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2739044
That kernel comes with Philz recovery.
Gets overwritten while flashing your ROM. Updates should be no problems from there. As always, I'm not responsible for any problems. Always have a working backup ready. [emoji6]
